REED - EVANS.

The residence of MIR. George G. Evans
was the scene Of a very quiet but delight
full wedding On Tuesday afternoon at 5
o'clock, by which Lis fourth daughter,
Agnes Armitage was married to Mr..
Chas. W. Reed of Philadelphia. The cere-
mony was performed by the Rev. Joseph
S. Malone ofthe LIST Presbyterian Church
in the presence ola very small assem-
blage Of the immediate relatives of the
two families. The picture presented as
the bride aud groom took their position
under the floral canopy was very at
tractiye one indeed, representing the
bride in very pretty cloth travelling
dress, and AZ radiant as brides gen, rally
are at such critical and ecstatic moments.
The knot was soon tied and at once the
smiling pair fortified themselves to re-
ceive the abundant good wishes and con-
CALCULATIONS of the assemblaged guests.
This feature was followed by another
pleasant one, that is, the serving of a
wedding supper. The married pair
soon left this scene of festivity for their
honeymoon amid the shower of good
wishes, rice and old shoes which follow
ed to the carriage in waiting.
Many presents were displayed but
probably the most striking one was Il
check for 81 900 from the brides father.
Mr.. and Mrs Reed will at present reside
in Camden where a house has been
furnished, Mr. Reed being connected
with the main Office of the Pennsylvania
railroad, and having formerly lived in
Newark, where both he and his young
wife are very popular members of society.

Accident.

One day last week the colored man
>who drives wagon for Rankin Armstrong,
dry good and grocery merchant, met
with an accident-%hieh we cannot see
how he and the horse escaped iatal IN
juries. The man was hauling riipplsn
up the creek road and dumping it down
the high bank on the left side, not far
from the railroad. In backing the wagon
the horse either became manageable
or else the man backed clear over into
the space below. The horse and wagon
went over, however, and the wagon was
considerably damaged. The horse was
only scratched, and was not otherwise
injured as far as could be seen. The
man escaped by jumping from the
wagon.

PEOPLES COLUMN.

MEssRs. EDIToRs.- were glad to see
that the law was shown to those who
sell or give away obscene or indecent
pictures. In the first place l am not
much interested in this matter, but hate
awfully to see the"innocent slaughtered"
by such wicked chromos that we have
heard spoken of. 1t was claimed that
these pictures came from cigarette pack
ages sold by merchants in Newark. This
we did not believe and made investiga-
ton and from what we found no law,
court, judge or jury would convict any
man as a common misdemeanor. These
"vile" pictures spoken ofcame from other
sources. There are advertisements in
the daily and weekly papers which pur-
sons can procure these chromos. don't
believe that any Of our merchants would
be so wicked as TO give these "nasty pic
lures" to children, However, if they do
they will be found out. PIETY.

afternoon, at Reading, Pa, by blowing
his brains out with 32-calibre revolver.
He had not been in the best of spirits
and came home earlier than usual. His

leaving her husband with their two
children. After she had gone Lingard
took the children with him upstairs and
knelt down between them. He then
placed the muzzel of the weapon to his
left temple and fired. The ball passed
to the brain and there lodged. The
little ones were bespattered with the
blood of their father. Lingard died this
evening. He was but "a years of age.

N
ANOTHER WEDDING.
On Sunday last Joe Fears and Della
Fitzmaurice were united in the bonds
of matrimony by Father -- in st.
Johns Catholic Church in this town.
There was a rapid change in the bride,
so we were informed. Joe courted and
intended to marry Maggie, a sister of
Della, but the Father informed the cou-
pie that the would be bride was too young
and he could not marry them. Thus
matters stood until Sunday, and then
Maggie gave her sister SO much cash to
marry Joe. Joe accepted. We believe
that Della loved Joe as well as Maggie.
The couple are living happy here in
Newark.

They Were Treated by the PbiiadeI-

PHILADELPHIA, January 2l.-SenatOr
Joseph C. $. Blackburn was awarded the
honors ut the fifth anniversary dinner of
the Clover Club at the Hotel Bellevue, last
night. President Handy, in his happiest
vein, presented the guests for the darts Of
the members and the treatment some
of the distinguished gentlemen received
was blank surprise to them. Henry
WattersOn, of the Louisville COHrier-.J0ur-
nal, was the first to fall before the volley Of
witticisms He stood manfully for time,
and was finally compelled to retire. Sena-
tor Eugene Hale, Of Maine, foresaw the
storm, and managed to make bret remarks.
Senator JOS Blackburn was greeted with
the song, "Old Kentucky Home, and
then he made rousing speech, full of sen
timent. EX-AttOrney General Benjamin
Harris Brewster arose and told the mems
bers he knew them, and declared that one
of the lost arts to the members was to know
how 10 behave themselves.
Col. Tom Ochiltrce, OF Texas, was per
mitted to make brief speech, and then
President Austin COrbin, of the Reading
Railroad, was called upon. IL feel greatly
embarrassed, " said Mr.. Corbin. lie pro-
ceeded no further, for voice remarked;
$50 is our railroad" This sally broke mp
the President and he retired in favor Of U.
s. Treasurer Jordan, who having witnessed
the fate of the Others, braced himself TO
cope with the rollicking punsters. The
song, Jordan Am Hard Road TO Trabble
Believe" " was interjected in the middle
of the Treasurer's remarks. This was more
than the amiable gentleman could stand, 30
he relinquished his time to Col. A. X. Nc
Clurc. The latter was haired from giving
"reminiscences of his life, and delving into
the future, be nominated Senator J. Don
aid Cameron for President, stating that be
had been for Cameron for forty years.
This brought bright witted ex-GOyeEnos
Bonn to his feet with the remark "Yes,
Colonel you have been for Cameron for
forty years, but you never took his scalp"
The dinner was 4 most elaborate affair,
and in keeping with the entertainments
which have made the Clover Club famous.
